all im tryin to do is create a few small things.
i want the title of each of my news posts to be a certain color, font, and size.
i want the subtitle (like date & time of news post) to be another size and font
and i want the text paragraphs to be another size.

i dont want to change the font of the entire site (i like my links and nav bar to be different)
what route would you recommend i use?
external style sheet?
style classes?

Basically with css you can define almost any tag with a style, and then add classes to that tag. And by linking to it instead of including it in the header (which you could do if you surround it by style tags) you can have all your pages link to it so that if you decide to change 1 thing you dont have to change it on every page (like SSI).
